BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess how embolization endpoints affect the efficacy of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for adenomyosis. METHODS: In this single-center retrospective cohort study, patients treated with UAE from 2014-2018 …

BACKGROUND: RAS system. METHOD: validated questionnaire: BFLUTS, KESS, GIQLI), and pain symptoms both before and after surgery were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: < 0.0001) was found between the two groups. A significant differen…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis of the distal segment of the uterosacral ligament may lead to a displaced ureter in the surgical field and must be identified before safe disease excision can be carried out. The aim of this study is to investigate…

The lymph node status of patients with endometrial cancer is known to be a crucial determinant for the prognosis of the disease. It also provides the indication for further adjuvant treatment. The staging of endometrial cancer by surgery ha…

Robotic-assisted surgery has gained widespread acceptance in the surgical community and appears to be the most rapidly developing sector of minimally invasive surgery. However, robotic surgery has been viewed as a development of, or alterna…

BACKGROUND: Our aim was to review the current knowledge of the role of fluorescence imaging for intraoperative intestinal assessment in gynecological surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A computer-based systematic review was performed from 2000 …

Introduction We aimed to analyze the preliminary experience of a mini-plus percutaneous instrument (MpPc) setting in total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH).Material and methods Forty-three women who underwent a mini-plus percutaneous total l…

Objective: The surgical approach, hemostatic approach, histologic findings, and cyst size and location may have a role in reducing the ovarian reserve. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of single-port laparoscopic cystecto…

Deep endometriosis is associated with severe painful symptoms that sometimes impair the quality of life in women of reproductive age. Medical therapy does not provide for adequate pain relief, and an effective management option to reduce pe…

There are two different types of hysterocopes available: Flexible and rigid. Flexible scopes have the ability to observe the whole intrauterine cavity, but it is difficult to perform an operation on endometrial lesions. Rigid hysteroscopes …

A unicornuate uterus is a rare congenital malformation of the female genital tract, which appears in about 1/1000 women and is characterized by significant anatomic variability. In the most common type, a noncommunicating rudimentary horn c…

The aim of the study was to assess the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic treatment of distal infiltrative ureteral endometriosis with segmental ureteral resection, ureteroneocystostomy, and vesicopsoas hitch. We performed a retrospective …

The study analyzes factors that affect vaginal hysterectomy to establish the indications of a vaginal approach to benign uterine disease. In a retrospective study, 174 patients underwent vaginal hysterectomy for uterine leiomyomas or adenom…

It was the objective of this study to construct a model of the uterine vascular supply through vascular casting and thin slice computed tomography scanning. This will provide a teaching aide for the understanding of uterine artery embolizat…

This study was undertaken to determine the usefulness of routine intra-operative cystoscopy in documenting ureteral patency after laparoscopy-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH). There were eighty patients who underwent LAVH for benign tum…

We tried to evaluate the relative feasibility, surgical duration and complications of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) versus coagulation of uterine arteries at their origin (CUA) plus total laparoscopic hysterectomy for the management…

Deep endometriosis is a disease which may involve all organs of the pelvis. The lesion is most often located at the backside of the uterus, involving the uterosacral ligaments and/or the rectovaginal septum. The involvement of adjacent orga…

Uterine arterial embolisation in the management of fibroids can only be carried out if the preoperative diagnosis has been made accurately. It is particularly important to exclude adenomyosis or malignancies. In medicine the gold standard i…
